Chappy Channukah

It's that time once a year when we spin those dreidels, eat fried foods, light enough candles to burn down any house, and gift presents to kids who don't even understand why they're receiving presents for 8 straight nights...I digress. Channukah sure is fun though!

This guy greeted us the first night and added a whole new element of cheer to our holiday.

We were excited to open presents from Grandma and Grandpa on night 3:

Night 4 brings stick-on earrings and a firefighter costume!

Night 5 goofs:

TinkerToys and ocean gears from Nana and Zayde:


Excited about making creations with our new toys:

At these ages, is an adult supposed to be aiding this process?

On night 7, we joined Team Gilden for Latke Shabbat!

Lots of latkes! Lots - let's all eat 'em up!

It's going to be quite boring when new toys and exciting things stop arriving nightly. Until then, we're having fun with all the great new entertainment.

Gabi and Ethan worked together to put together our new puzzle from Team Gilden.

Playing with new presents can be very serious work.

As the end of the holiday comes, we hope that 2017 can be every bit as bright!
